Question 1

Will our comments get removed or accounts banned?

Accepted Answer

Some comments will be removed. I will not tell you zero. It happens most in old ranked threads where moderators routinely delete new comments, and you will see every removal in the report rather than hear about it later. What does not happen is accounts getting burned: we have never had an account banned. More than half of our accounts are over two years old, they run around 85% ordinary activity outside client work, and every one lives on its own phone with its own persona. We also cap volume at roughly 20 comments a week per brand and never post in bursts. When a post is removed we wait three days, publish a similar post in a different subreddit, and stay out of the removing subreddit for two weeks. A post removed inside 24 hours never counts toward your quota.

Question 2

Is this astroturfing?

Accepted Answer

Here is the honest version. Of our four services, commenting into already-ranking threads is the one that, done clumsily, looks exactly like marketing. So it is the most tightly controlled thing we do: warmest accounts only, a strict weekly cap, and a plausibility test on every comment. If a real person would not leave that comment there, neither do we. What we refuse to do: bots, bought accounts, vote manipulation, impersonation, undisclosed endorsements, affiliate codes, live URLs dropped into comments. Our seeded threads name competitors honestly and include comments that never mention the client at all, because that is what makes a thread worth ranking. Reddit rewards specifics and punishes spin. If the plan depends on manipulation it is not durable growth, and we will say so.

Question 3

What about our previous provider's comments that kept getting removed?

Accepted Answer

The usual causes are fresh accounts in gated subreddits, no unbranded life before the brand mention, volume first instead of thread first, and no one watching whether the comments survived. One prospect came to us with 700 comments placed by a previous provider and about 50 still live a year later. We would post roughly the same number. The difference is that ours stay up, and they are in the threads Google and ChatGPT are already reading.

Question 4

Some subreddits will never allow a vendor. What then?

Accepted Answer

Largely correct, and we would rather say so now than three months in. In those communities the play is to answer the question properly and name nobody. Presence in the thread still counts when the engines retrieve it.

Question 5

Can we speak to a client or see a case study?

Accepted Answer

We cannot connect you with clients. Organic Reddit work is a grey area and every contract carries an NDA; it is not something brands like to be publicly connected with. What we can do, and do on every call: open Peec.AI live on your own category, walk through the sample report, show the live Reddit threads behind our results, and give you three or four public account profiles so you can read how we mention clients naturally. Our results section shows three anonymised programs with the exact figures.

Question 6

How do we know it worked?

Accepted Answer

Five numbers, the same every 14 days: AI answers naming your brand (and how many cited a thread we comment in), AI Reddit retrievals, AI presence, Google presence, and actions delivered. Four of the five come straight out of Peec.AI, which you get your own logins to on day one, so you can check the raw data yourself. The fifth is a live link to every post and comment we shipped. Both numerator and denominator are observable, not modelled, not retrofitted. One thing we recommend on your side: add "AI / ChatGPT" and "Reddit" as options in your "where did you hear about us" field. Reddit is one input into AI answers, and that field is the cleanest downstream attribution you can get.

Question 7

Do you track views on Reddit posts?

Accepted Answer

Not automatically. Reddit makes view counts impractical to pull at scale and they are a weak signal for AI outcomes. We can check views on individual posts on request. What we track instead is whether the engines are retrieving the threads we are in and whether your brand is named in the answer.

Question 8

How is the prompt set built?

Accepted Answer

From your keywords. You give us 20-30 Google search terms, mixed across branded, competitor, category, use-case, comparison and question phrasing. We turn them into 20-30 AI prompts grouped by awareness, consideration and brand evaluation, and send them for approval before anything goes live. Branded prompts are capped at two, because a prompt with your name in it nearly always returns you and flatters the score without telling us anything. The set is yours and fully editable in Peec.

Question 9

What does it cost and what are the terms?

Accepted Answer

From $2,000 a month. Three levels, Core, Growth and Max, that differ in weekly cadence, and we quote all three after the call. 3-month initial term, then month to month with 30 days' notice. Billed monthly in USD, or GBP and EUR if that is easier, by Wise bank transfer or Stripe. First invoice on day one with 7-day terms; work starts when it is paid. Multi-brand and agency programs are priced individually. We do not sell per comment or per post.

Question 10

Do you have any guarantees?

Accepted Answer

No. Reddit is not a media buy, and anyone promising rankings or a fixed number of mentions is describing a different, worse product. What we commit to is the quota of posts and comments in your tier, every one of them visible with a live link, and the measurement that shows whether it is moving. Ask us on the call how we handle a month where delivery falls short.

Question 11

Can we start with one month?

Accepted Answer

We do not recommend it and usually decline. Threads seeded in month one start ranking and being retrieved in weeks four to twelve. A single month buys activity, not compounding, and without the tracking running for three months you cannot see it happen.

Question 12

What is the difference between Reddit marketing, Reddit SEO and GEO?

Accepted Answer

Reddit marketing is the broad term for any brand activity on Reddit, from ads to community management. Reddit SEO is narrower: getting your brand into the Reddit threads that rank on Google for buyer searches. Generative engine optimization (GEO, sometimes called AEO) is getting your brand into the answers ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews give, and Reddit threads are one of the sources those engines cite most. We do Reddit SEO and GEO as one program: the same threads that rank on Google are the ones the AI engines retrieve, and we track both surfaces for every client. We do not manage Reddit ads.

Question 13

Do you run Reddit ads?

Accepted Answer

No. Ads cannot be cited by AI engines or ranked by Google, and they stop the day you stop paying. Our note on when Reddit ads are worth it, with cost benchmarks, is here.

Question 14

What happens in the first 30 days?

Accepted Answer

Days 1-2: your Peec.AI logins go live, we scrape Google for the priority threads, and we build the prompt set from your keywords for you to approve. Day 3: posting and commenting begin, with the first posts shared with your team. Weeks 1-3: volume ramps so no subreddit sees a burst. Day 14: your first report, the baseline, and the first strategy call. Week 4: first measurable signs. Everything after the baseline is movement.

Question 15

Are our buyers even on Reddit?

Accepted Answer

We do not argue this; we pull the data. A Netherlands-only fragrance brand asked us the same question. In their category, reddit.com was the #1 retrieved domain in AI answers at 45.5%, ahead of Forbes at 35.2%, and the brand was mentioned in 5 of 27 threads while its competitors were in nearly all of them. If you book a call we will run your category the same way before we speak.

Question 16

Who is not a fit?

Accepted Answer

Solo founders and early-stage brands under $2,000 a month. Anyone shopping for per-comment rates. Anyone who wants stealth marketing or manufactured consensus. Crypto token projects and adult brands. Non-English markets.

Question 17

Do you work in other languages or outside the US?

Accepted Answer

English only. Most of our clients are in the US and Canada, with UK and EU brands accepted. We work 10am-8pm ET.

Question 18

Can you work with NDAs, procurement and legal review?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We will sign your NDA or use ours, and the services agreement is short and templated so changes are easy. The step that stalls most deals is collecting the legal entity name, address and signatory, so we ask for those early.

Question 19

Do we need a subreddit?

Accepted Answer

No. Most programs run without one. A subreddit is worth it when there is no good category community already, or when you want an official place where your team can answer questions as a disclosed representative. It is the slowest service to show results and the most transparent.
